Only days after hanging out with actual cubs, Jason Heyward had to deal with a swarm of bees.

Heyward was attacked by those flying jerks in center field Sunday during the third inning of Chicago's spring training game against the Mariners.

Heyward tweeted that he got stung "at least 20 times." But he did hit a homer in the bottom half of the inning. Hopefully the ball smacked some of those bees.

Bees suck.
